own our own town house: 
 
Mortgage: £880 (or £440 shared) 
Gas/Elec: £80 
Council Tax: £145 
Food: £200 (Varies alot) 
TV Licence: £100 (paid outright) 
Home Insurance: £180 (paid outright) 
Water £20 (if that). 
 
Then you need to take into account any other bills you might have.. 
Petrol 
Car insurance 
Beer 
Phone Bills 
 
etc etc 
 
Not easy, and  we Personally struggle like hell, but i wouldnt have it any other way. At the end of the day we own our own 200k house and its a good investment.

Mortgage £669pm (£335 each) 
House insurance +Life assurance £112 (56 each) 
 
Gas/Electric £50 per month 
Council Tax £90per month 
Water £18 
TV license £11.50 a month 
Phone/Broadband £27 per month 
 
 
Then we each have  
 
Car 
Food 
Mobiles 
Clothes 
Going out  
 
 
Its tough at the start but budget EVERYthing and it should go smoothly. Also shop around for gas/electric/insurance suppliers etc

me and missus joint income is around 35k 
 
self employed is fine just present 2 years worth of self assessments proving what you earned, unless of course you took loads of cash and didnt declare it
